What are the evidence-based recommendations for the prevention of venous thromboembolism in individuals with spinal cord injury?

P
Population
Individuals with acute and chronic spinal cord injury (SCI)
I
Intervention
Thromboprophylaxis for the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE)
O
Outcome
Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE)hard clinical

These clinical practice guidelines provide updated, evidence-based recommendations for the prevention of VTE, a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with spinal cord injury.

Limitations

  • Lack of clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of newer anticoagulants specifically in patients with acute spinal cord injury
  • Exclusion of non-English articles and studies addressing only nontraumatic spinal cord injury

Cite This Study

A 2016 study conducted a systematic review in Spinal Cord Injury and Venous Thromboembolism. Thromboprophylaxis was evaluated on Venous thromboembolism (deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism). These clinical practice guidelines provide updated, evidence-based recommendations for the prevention of venous thromboembolism in patients with acute spinal cord injury.
